Wow.. Great thread. I can't think of any particular thing to respond to so I'll go on a history tangent.
When did this begin? When one looks back, say, a hundred years, it seems as if the world was a lot more free from media pressures.. But is that true?
E.g. Religion. Heaven and bliss or death in hell. Patent medecines, promising protection from death and a better time in bed. Popular clothing.
All of written history that I can recall seems to be chock full of advertisements, promises to the worshipers of Ra, good times, protection from famine, etc.
Yay. I can't think of anything else to add, so again, great thread.
